Kojima, Metal Gear, Fox

Since I was 7th grade I started playing Metal Gear, and I started becoming a fan of Kojima, I loved this epic game like no other game, I would run to a store to buy one as soon as it release when they shot a new one in the market, but recently sadly I don't know he started screwing up few things, such as making a new hero looking too sissy, following the recent sad Twilightish generation, when Solid Snake and Big Boss is a gentle macho man and he was an example of a good man that I myself and other MGS fans wanted to be him! but now sadly it is not getting as cool as it used to be when Raiden came to the screen.

one hell of a game, finished it over 30 times

 

Metal Gear Peace Walker : the game was really well made, that I really really really enjoyed it a lot!, but the problem came with the Extra mission, Big Boss dating a 16 years old? O_o hello!? and the brief was ( Big Boss is a 32 years old man and Paz is 16 years old, I think Boss has enough charisma to seduce a 16 years old ) what the hell?! are you serious? O_O another fail Kojima.

and lets not bring the more fail of his work Castlevania Lords Of Shadows? that was one of it's kind in failing =_=

but since few years ago, he has been working on his game engine, which is named was inspired by the MGS serious, Fox Engine, this Engine is for sure putting all 3D game engine in the industry out of commission for sure! check out the article in here and there is a snap where it shows a conformance room, side A is real life and side B is a real time engine render, INSANE! but still didn't show anything on exteriors yet. check it out and tell me what do you think my dear followers.

AutoDesk SketchBook Copic Edition

Hi guys!

how have you been?

Today I had the chance to talk to one major artist from the industry on deviantart known as Artgerm www.artgerm.deviantart.com

I was discussing about free softwares since I don't have enough funds to buy a license for Photoshop or other fancy softwares, he recommanded few other freewares such as Gimp and Paint Tool Sai (paint tool sai costs 65$) and he told me I should try AutoDesk SketchBook Copic Edition ( totally free from Autodesk ) I would like to share this link with you guys so you can also enjoy the free fruits of the awesome people who give away nice things to others.

enjoy and have a good day ahead!

peace out!

Square brush/ Converting brushes from Photoshop to Gimp

I used this brush that was given to me by one of my online best friends who is David Liu! also known as Angry Angry Asian on deviantart, seriously awesome concept artist and animator.

he gave me a set of brushs on my last birthday with an awesome wallpaper of Guts from Berserk!

AWESOME ISN'T IT? XD

I tried em and this brush set is seriously too awesome!

here is what I did with it

photoshop is a good software really!

but the problem is that I can't afford a license for that, and now am using the college license just to set my portfolio!

its too damn expensive! I found few other softwares that are really good in painting but lets hope i can find the same brush or at least convert it to other softwares and use it T_T lets see!

Productive fun day

Today was a productive fun day, I needed some references for my 2D silhouette fight scene for Project Mercy (my motion comic for this year) so I called up my friend Sandeep Siddhu and asked for his help with that and he was so generous to do that and let me kick his ass! XD ( with respect of course) done a lot of videos for the reference and the camera man was Mahesh another friend and a class mate of mine, took few pics and here are few of em, the guy in shorts is me :P

all of these pics were took at Chennai's Marina Beach, at Santhom lighthouse.


after that we all went to KFC and took along my friend Aamir khan for a treat for the hard work of today ( almost broke my foot =_= )

and to add more awesomeness for today! I received Ashley Wood's WWB! ( world war robot ) book!

didn't check it yet, I was inspired by this guy from the beginning of my career through Metal Gear Portable Ops for PSP.

I was planing for an exhibition based on a story of a  Robot (that I design of course)  and tell a story in a different point of view, had the major basic story line in my head so I don't want to be influenced by any others regarding that and am sure it will be fun! ( watch out for Z-96, the Robot with the Red Scarf  ) we might plan it as a video games teaming up with my friend Ali Alkhiro ( Game Designer and Story development freak! ) and Sandeep Siddhu (3D artist and creative person), and also thanks to Ashley Wood for inspiring that! :) * I just hope it will have no connection with his ideas or they will call me a plagiarist O_O this will be the last thing i need in they beginning of  my career* but lets see what WWB! can kick more into my brain, and here are some treat for you guys! :)

1st here are some stuff I drew for Z-96

I don't know why I have this obsession with Rabbits! I like this looks with the ears, looks more cool, hip and friendly :) and this was done with Krita Painting

just  simple painting to explorer his looks, done with my paint

that is Ashley Wood's blog! go check it!
